Featured Customer Reviews Solid reference for the TCP/IP stack in Windows Server 2008,
December 18, 2008 This book describes in detail and very clearly the protocols of the core TCP/IP stack in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista and how to modify its behavior with registry settings and netsh commands. I disagree with VG's evaluation of this title. Routing and NAT are covered in the "TCP/IP Fundamentals" free online book on the companion CD. The netsh commands that he cites are for the Routing and Remote Access service, which are outside the scope of this book. Lastly, I find the explanation of SWS in the book very clear, within the context of Chapter 12. Poorly edited, incomplete and somewhat confusing,
June 19, 2008 The book states that it's goal is to provide a user (or admin) view of TCP/IP in Win2k8 Server and Vista. It doesn't do a good job. Routing and NAT are hardly covered.
Examples:
* Do you want to know what `netsh routing ip autodhcp` does? Or maybe what `show rtmdestinations` does? You won't find out in this book.
* The discussion on SWS (silly window sindrome) is pretty confusing. Wikipedia does a better job at explaining it.
